The movie holds up well, and it's far better than the billy bob remake.

Amiably engrossing satire on the 'win ethic' that offers a take-it-or-leave-it approach to its serious points about enforcing precociousness on kids, but consistently delights with its panoramic comic invention. The success this underdog…

Fun entertaining story. I enjoyed it as a kid, and watching it again with my 9 and 11 year old boys. The movie is rated PG, but note it contains foul language, racial slurs, and lots of beer. I guess that stuff wasn't as offensive in…

Veepea--Because real life is like that sometimes. Sorry if you'd rather have a nice, sweet, hunky-dory fake-type character. This is a guy who cares, but he's kind of crusty; still, he has the fortitude to push the kids into becoming a real…

I don't see what the fuss is about this film, he's grumpy and doesn't like kids and is mean- how is that a great story?
